INVESTMENT PORTFOLIO Canadian oil and gas royalties are highly-prized assets that provide attractive cash-flow and value for investors. What do investors own? Investors (or Limited Partners) own units in a Partnership which will acquire a portfolio of high quality oil and gas royalties. In return for an investment in a Partnership, investors receive income via monthly cash distributions, a 100% tax deductible investment (over time), future liquidity and an opportunity to create a capital gain. What type of investments will a Limited Partnership focus on? Producing Royalties on Existing Long Life Assets: Providing Canadian Oil and Gas Property Expense (COGPE) Tax Deductions hha Partnership may acquire royalties on already existing producing oil and natural gas properties that have long life reserves, predictable production performance, and strong cash flow profiles ( Producing Royalties ). hhproducing Royalties provide investors with COGPE tax deductions, which are deducted 10% per year on a declining balance basis. Development Royalties Through Joint Ventures: Providing Canadian Development Expenses (CDE) Tax Deductions hha Partnership may aquire royalties through a pool of professionally selected joint ventures on proven and producing oil and/or natural gas development properties ( Development Royalties ). hhdevelopment means in-fill drilling into existing producing pools of oil and natural gas where infrastructure (i.e. pipelines and processing facilities) is already in place in order to facilitate rapid tie-in of production and cash flow to investors. hhdevelopment Royalties provide investors with CDE tax deductions, which are deducted at approximately 30% per year on a declining basis. Both the COGPE and CDE tax deductions may be carried forward to future years and may be used against any source of taxable income including capital gains. Our investments are primarily located in the Western Canadian Sedimentary Basin. 3

OUR OUTLOOK Maple Leaf believes that the long-term fundamental outlook for the energy sector is attractive and that the timing is right for the acquisition of a portfolio of royalty interests. When investing in commodities, timing is everything. The recent decline in oil and gas commodity prices have provided an exceptional buying opportunity in the Canadian energy industry. hhvaluations have fallen dramatically and in some cases by over 70%. hhbanks and other energy sector lenders are starting to demand repayment of loans from defaulting producers. hhmany oil and gas companies with stretched balance sheets are currently being forced to liquidate their core assets to pay down their lines of credit. hhjunior oil and gas companies are now more than ever, actively searching for alternative forms of financing for their projects. The Partnerships are formed specifically to take advantage of this rare opportunity to buy royalty assets at deeply discounted prices. The Partnerships use the net proceeds raised to acquire or manufacture royalty interests on high quality, long life, income producing assets that will realize attractive cash flow and value for investors. Maple Leaf can provide much needed capital for oil and gas companies on better terms than those typically available through traditional capital markets or banks. hhenhanced IRR and improved capital efficiency hhcapital without loss of control hhnon-competitive financial partner hhcapex budget accelerator hhnon-dilutive hhalternative to incurring debt to maintain strong balance sheets 7
